.... The pilot results confirmed the major recovery mechanisms with quantifiable EOR responses. Introduction Over the past decade, technological advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have allowed access to large volumes of shale oil that were previously uneconomic. The U.S. Energy...

..., viscosity reduction and swelling, and the impact of gas transport mechanism were analyzed. This work describes a novel approach to determining the factors impacting the Huff and Puff process. The quantification of these recovery mechanisms provides important data for designing field implementations...

... examined the relative importance of different recovery mechanisms including oil swelling, viscosity reduction, vaporization, and pressure support as a function of the reservoir fluid’s initial gas-oil ratio (GOR). A numerical flow model is used to study these effects, where all of these mechanisms...

... indicates that incremental oil is being produced, but the physical mechanisms for the additional recovery are not well understood. In this paper, the relative significance of four proposed recovery mechanisms is examined: (1) oil swelling, (2) viscosity reduction, (3) vaporization, and (4) pressure...
